McCrew530gets pumped with Prodigy a sponsored log by Premium Nutr

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
First off I want to thank Cary K over at PNI for allowing a noob to these forums the chance to log their pre work out, Prodigy.
The focus of this log will be on:
energy, instant and sustained
focus
pump
vascularity, during work out and through out the day.
strength gain
endurance
size gain
continued effectiveness

This will be the only "work out" supplement I will take during this log, I do take a daily multi, fish oil and a joint supplement.
My work outs will be predominantly in the morning so Prodigy will be primed for maximum absorption. I will be more than happy to answer any questions during the log or PM me if it is a more private matter.
I have used many pre workouts in the past ( none in the last year ) and am excited to see how this formula comes together to push my workouts.

So I was thinking about starting my work outs with this on Monday morning but Im going to go in for a second gym session tonight and hit chest! My stats are as fallows.
6ft ( with shoes)
218 ( docs scale last week)
BF some where in the 12% range ( I have a soft six)
I am going to be working on high rep training (15-25) reps per movement for 3-4 sets.
Ill post some before and after pics on tomorrows update!

So I got off of work last night at 6 was home and opening my fresh bottle of Prodigy by 6:30 and had those marvelous Beta Alanine tingles by 6:50. I was semi tired from my day at work but when I got to the gym at 7 I had a mood elevating energy rush. You know, the kind where you can feel the tried leave your eyes. My gym closes at 8 on Sundays and it was packed with all the usual suspects. The old ladies, the fat people wonderers, and the d-bags yelling at the top of their lungs about how bombed they got over the weekend and now the were just trying to get a sweat on while taking up half the gym. None of this was a bother though I plugged in my headphones and went to work.

One of my favorite parts of working out with Prodigy is that when I dig in deep for those last reps my entire body gets an intense pins and needles tingle from the B.A. This refocuses my body to get those last couple of reps and not focus on the muscle fatigue.
Tonight’s pump was a 7 in the gym and continued for a solid 2 hours after
Focus was a 6
Energy a clean 10
Endurance 8
Vascularity during 7 continued vascularity is a 10

Final thoughts for the day.
This is a clean energy that Prodigy brings to the table not jittery by any means but it stays with you for quite some time. I had a hard time falling asleep. But a hidden factor that I did not even consider came when the lady wanted some sexy time, she mentioned me feeling “bigger”. Yeah Buddy a little extra blood flow to all the major muscles!

All right now for this morning’s shoulders and arms session
I woke up at 7:30 and took 1 scoop with my multi, fish oil and joint supplements. I must say that the flavor of the watermelon is pleasant, not too sweet, its not bitter and mixes well in 12oz of water, no clumpage at all. Again after 20 min the warm body tingles crept up and the clean stimulant energy was felt.
I love morning work outs it just sets the mood for the day

Holly pushing iron Batman! I felt like a beast in the gym today, and the pump was FANTASTIC!!! The main thing I noticed beside felling swoll was the difference in focus from taking Prodigy on an empty stomach to one that’s been fed all day. It was a literal in the zone feeling. The Pump was awesome because while I my muscles were pumped it did not hinder them from finishing the final reps. I felt like I could have stayed in the gym for another hour but I had to get to work. Vascularity was there but more so with the pump came striations in my shoulders that I have not seen since I was down to 5-6% body fat.

Pump was a 9
Focus was a 9
Energy a clean 10
Endurance 10
Vascularity during 6 continued vascularity is a 10

Glad you are enjoying the energy and pumps. I agree that morning workouts are the best!

Ya the pump was huge but not a nuance. I have to say the Prodigy did a great job at keeping the lactic acid at bay allowing me to get a few more reps in per set. I foresee this being an awesome sting of workouts for the next thirty days!

That is an interesting note and observation, I too noticed with the sample I took the energy stays with you for quite some time. I have also noticed with certain pre workouts, Prodigy being one of them, they tend to enhance my music. After I got done with my workout and was laying down in bed listening to some music I was still very alert and focused and in a way Prodigy had me laying there just calmly vibing out to my music, it was really cool.

What do you have for a flavor? I tried blue raspberry and liked it but I'm curious to know how the watermelon tastes?

Blue raspberry is my fav flavor. I do agree with the music enhancement

I have the Watermelon. It tastes similar to a jolly rancher to me just not a sweet. I like it. Prodigy is one of the better flavored Pre Work out supplements I have had, but I love blue raspberry anything. Its a shame blue raspberry icee are so packed with sugar that you need insulin regulation post drink lol

All right ladies and gentleman I have another perfect work out for you brought to with a helping hand by PNI’s Prodigy.
First off I want to note that I had zero problems falling asleep last night as I worked out in the morning. I had my single scoop of Watermelon Prodigy at 7:30 a.m. and had a sustained energy boost till about noon. I did not crash by any means, I just felt less energized.

Last thought:
One huge positive I want to mention is how Prodigy does not mess your stomach up even when taken on an empty one. I have used other Pre W/O products that are so full of stims that I need to run to the bathroom as soon as I start to lift or they will upset my stomach so bad that I will want to throw up half way through my work out.

Hey i just wanted to toss in a quick update im at a work conference and will only have my phone. The hotel has a gym and i will update my work outs this weekend. I hope every one following had a good couple of days

All right Im back on the attack. I kept up my work outs while I was at my managers retreat over the past week. The gym at the hotel where the conference was held had a decent gym with a small selection of free weights and a couple of machines. I put together a couple of cross fit full body workouts with a solid Prodigy boost and noticed that the pump I got was more vascular in nature v.s. muscle filling size when doing high rep high intensity full body exercise. Now I am not a crazy endurance kind of guy but I felt an extra kick with my cross fit work outs. So all you high school athletes out there that are thinking about Using gear to give you an edge make this note, it is not needed, if you absolutely need something to give you an extra gear in the gym look into Prodigy, its cost effective and it works well. Ok enough with the PSA segment back into the work outs. After I got back from my trip I hit a new PR in incline bench press 275x5 during an hour and a half chest and triceps bash and this morning I hit back and biceps with a high note of 15 wide grip pull ups superset with 10 close grips.

Over all synopsis of week 1
Pumps: 8
Vascularity: 6
Sustained vascularity: 8
Energy : 10
Focus: 8
Strength: 7
Endurance: 8
Taste and mix ability :10
Overall impression of the first week is that Prodigy is that this product is great. I am not retaining any watter which has been a problem with other Pre work outs that I have used in the past. The energy that I get in my morning workouts is fantastic and clean, The pump is nice and full and stays with you for a while. The B.A tingle is great and can be felt through out your entire body when pushing out those last few reps. I am interested in seeing if my body builds up a tolerance to any of these elements over the next few weeks. Hit me up with any questions you may have.

All right shoulders and arms day!
I was kind of exhausted from last night. I got called out to my store due to the alarm going off at 10PM only to find a Mexican sleeping in one of our outside bathrooms, so I didn’t get to sleep as early as I wanted but I was in the gym at 8 none the less.

I then hit a 25min circuit for bi’s, tri’s and calf’s because lets be honest just about everyone could use better calf’s.

Thoughts on todays work out: I’m noticing that my vascularity is becoming more pronounced each day epically in my forearms and traps. Also I don’t know if my gym is just cranking up the heat, or my workouts are more intense but I am sweating a bit more. Cary is there anything in Prodigy that would give thermo genic effect? Either way I like it!

Do any of you guys fallowing along have any input so far, questions or anything you would like to see more of? This is my first log and I want to make sure that I am hitting all the bases.

Work outs have been great my internet has been down at my apartments so I haven’t had the ability to get on line and update but I’m back in the office today and just got all my work done.
So with no further a due my weekend update:
The past three days have consisted of 1 day of paintball, 1 day of rest, and a crazy good leg work out.
My legs day was killer and I am noticing my body is repairing itself exceptionally fast after these hard work outs
Leg day included
box jumps 15X3 warm up
Lunges with 50lb dumbbells 10 steps each leg for 3 sets
Leg press 450X20 540X15 630X10
Dead Lifts 215X10X3
then to finish off I saw this lady doing these 1 leg glut press on the smith machine which I tried and they were surprisingly hard with only 30lbs
So far I am really impressed with Prodigy. usually by week 2 of consistent pre work dosage I fell my tolerance building and the effects diminishing but so far the pumps have remained solid I’m actually noticing more striations and better sustained vascularity. Tomorrow is core day I will upload a pic of my legs after work I have some good separation going on.
